'''The Bafflewood''' is the second level of [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.  In this level, Mario is required to take a very specific path to successfully navigate a maze leading to a [[Comet Piece]].  Deviating from this path will send Mario back to the beginning.  

Collecting the [[Comet Piece]] at the end opens the path to [[Wiggler's Tree House|World 3-3: Wiggler's Tree House]] on the World Map.
 
== Layout ==
Mario begins in the first area which is basically just a path to the start of the maze. A Toad can be found here during the Wiggler Segment chase. The second area, the start of the maze, has a signboard between two [[Snifit]]s. The sign warns Mario to be careful in the maze. Behind it is a [[? Block]] with a sticker inside, and there is a choice of two paths with signboards for each one. This can be used to place stickers on to mark the correct path. The left path basically leads back to the same area. Taking the right path, which is already marked by a Jump sticker in the beginning, takes Mario to the next area with a [[Piranha Plant]] and several Snifits, and two paths. The right path is marked with a Worn-Out Jump sticker, but instead Mario should take the left path. This brings Mario to an empty area with flowers and now with three different paths, also with the middle path marked. Instead, Mario should take the path on the right. This takes Mario to an area with a pool of poison and Snifits in it, and three paths. The left path goes back to the start, the middle path leads towards the Comet Piece and the right one leads to another area with three paths.

Taking the right path leads to an area with a fork of three paths, all without any signboards to stick stickers. At the south of the area is a hidden door, which requires a Secret Door sticker from [[Outlook Point]] to access. The path on the right is the correct path, while the others leads back to the start. This brings Mario to a room full of stickers, and during the Wiggler event, the Wiggler Segment. Upon seeing Mario, the Wiggler Segment will panic and run towards north, crashing into a fence which causes the bushes at the north to move away, revealing a secret path. The Wiggler Segment will then become unconsious. When Mario reaches the Wiggler Segment, it will begin a battle with Mario. After the battle, Mario may jump over the fence and go north. This leads to, first, an area with two [[Piranha Plants]] and a matching pair of ? Blocks above them. To the north of the [[Piranha Plants]] and the two ? blocks is an area with four bushes, one containing a HP heart. Going north again leads Mario to a dead-end, with the Bowling Ball thing, which is required to reach the secret Comet Piece in [[Strike Lake]]. If this dead-end is returned to after using the Bowling Ball, there will be a Trophy thing in its place.

Back to the pond, taking the middle path leads Mario to a large area with Snifits and a Piranha Plant, and five different paths. The correct path is the west path. This leads to an area with a notice on a signboard, stating that Mario has reached the end of the maze and congratulating him on behalf of the 'management'. A ? Block can be found here. To the west there is a dandelion shining under the sunlight which has no effect on the game. Going north leads to the end of the level with the Comet Piece in sight. Collecting it unlocks the next level, [[Wiggler's Tree House]].

==Trivia==
*The sign at the entrance of the Bafflewood states, "Be Careful Not to Become That Guy Who Got Baffled [...] Times", the "[...]" representing a number that increases by one each time the player is "baffled." However, if the player gets baffled 100 times, the [...] is replaced with "any more".
*If Mario sticks an oversized thing or sticker onto a sign, the sign will snap. This trick can be helpful to remove fake tracks.
*The Japanese name of this area is a reference to both the [[Forever Forest]] and [[Forest of Illusion]], which in itself is a reference to the [[zeldawiki:Lost Woods|Lost Woods]] in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series.

-'''The Bafflewood''' is the second level of [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Mario is required to take a specific path to successfully navigate a maze leading to a [[Comet Piece]]. Near each path is a [[sign]] that Mario can place [[sticker]]s on. Taking a wrong path will send Mario back to the beginning. This level is similar to [[Forever Forest]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
-Collecting the Comet Piece at the end opens the path to W3-3, [[Wiggler's Tree House]], on the world map.

-There is a path which leads into the maze. In the first area of the maze, there are a [[Recovery Block]], two [[Snifit]]s, and a sign that can change its message. The area splits into 2 direction with the path to the right being the correct way as marked by the [[Jump]] sticker on the nearby sign.
-In the next area, there is a [[? Block]] that contains a [[Shiny Line Jump]] sticker and more enemies. The path splits into 2 directions again with the left path being the correct path. However, both signs are unmarked.

If this dead-end is returned to after using the Bowling Ball, there will be a Trophy thing in its place.
-The next area features a pool of [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] that 2 Snifits are walking in. A ? Block floats above the pool that contains a [[Blazehammer|Burnhammer]], [[Baahammer]], and [[Chillhammer]] stickers. The path splits into 3 directions with the middle and right path being correct ways forward.
+Back to the pond, taking the middle path leads Mario to a large area with Snifits and a Piranha Plant, and five different paths. The correct path is the west path. This leads to an area with a notice on a signboard, stating that Mario has reached the end of the maze and congratulating him on behalf of the 'management'. A ? Block can be found here.

Collecting it unlocks the next level, [[Wiggler's Tree House]].
-If Mario chooses the middle path, it takes him to a large area with some stickers, some enemies, and 5 paths. The left-most path is the correct way. Going down the path brings Mario to an area with a sign from the Bafflewood Management that congratulates him, a ? Block that contains an [[Ice Flower]], and a hill with a dandelion on top. Continuing forward takes Mario to the Comet Piece.
-If Mario chooses the path to the right, it takes him to an empty area with 3 paths that lack signs. The correct path is the one to the right which is marked by some flowers in a hexagonal formation. The path takes Mario to an area with many stickers.
-After [[Kamek#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Kamek]] splits [[Wiggler#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Wiggler]] into segments, one segment hides in the Bafflewood. A [[Toad (species)|Toad]] stands near the entrance and tells Mario "something yellow and round passed by here". Mario must travel to the alternate path of the Bafflewood to find it in the area with the many stickers. After it spots Mario, it runs into a fence and knocks itself out, revealing a new path. If Mario approaches the segment, it will start a battle. After beating the segment, it will follow Mario. If Mario brings the segment to the area with the dandelion and uses his [[hammer]] to release the dandelion puffs, the segment will jump in joy. This unlocks one of Wiggler's [[Wiggler's Diary|diary entries]].
-Beyond a fence is another area with 2 [[Piranha Plant]]s that guard ? Blocks. Unlike most other Piranha Plants, they will not chase Mario if he approaches. In the left ? Block are a [[Shiny Hopslipper]], [[Shiny Iron Jump]], and Shiny Line Jump. In the right ? Block are the three variants of the Shell sticker. Continuing forward is an area with bushes that bear fruit. The next area is a dead end that contains a [[Bowling Ball (Thing)|Bowling Ball]] or [[Trophy#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Trophy]] Thing depending on the player's progress.
-Before [[Gooper Blooper#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Gooper Blooper]] is defeated, [[Poison Blooper]]s can be seen swimming in the background. Once Mario beats Gooper Blooper, the Poison Bloopers and the pool of poison disappear.
-===Secret Door===
-An outline of a [[Secret Door]] is found in the area with the three paths with no signposts. Inside is the [[Violin (Thing)|Violin]].
-===Sticker upgrade spots===
-*1-4. In the area with 5 branching paths, there is one spot above each hexagonal formation of flowers that can be bloomed by the hammer.
